That there is one beautiful knife, Mark, checks all the boxes for me, for sure.Sharpnshinyknives wrote: ↑Mon Aug 12, 2024 11:02 am Lots of nice Barlows. That Rosecraft Blades has my attention. I need to get one before they are gone. David that Bear and Sons Barlow is beautiful. Iman, you always have such nice Barlows.
Chickenman the file work on the Taylor Eyewitness is a nice touch.
Ridgegrass that Wosenholm is a classic looking knife.
I’ve added a few Barlows, mostly GEC but haven’t gotten them photographed yet. I did get this A.G. Russell gentleman’s barlow with black lip pearl added recently.

You have to start thinking in knife terms on this site, TOPDOG! Take a deep breath, and repeat after me.

Interesting that it has a carbon main and a stainless pen. The liners, bolsters, springs, and pins are also stainless.

I guess when they are transitioning, they use what they have......

I was thinking in terms of "Transitioning" as a knife collector .... as in my own "Transition" from someone who didn't particularly care for the Barlow pattern and now spends way toomanydollars on them ......

Taylor Eye Witness curved Barlow with stepped bolsters.
Logo on bolsters and etch on blade.
Composite handles, I think, but you could convince me they’re ebony.

Sweet!
I really love the full blade etch and the double shields, both give a classic Boker look!
